PFP Publishing announced that Cheverus School in Malden will host the launch of a new edition of the popular girls’ guidebook "Girl to Girl: The Real Deal on Being a Girl Today" on February 16 at 6:30 p.m. This practical, interactive book written by journalist and social worker Anne Driscoll has been updated for girls ages 8 to 12.

A portion of all books sold at the event will benefit the Cheverus School, a K-8 parochial school with a culturally-rich enrollment of 350 students located at 30 Irving St., Malden, Mass. The event will take place in Monsignor Foley Hall on the Ferry Street entrance.

The program will include a presentation by Anne Driscoll, a longtime journalist and a licensed certified social worker, who has written for  People, Teen People, CosmoGirl, Parenting, the New York Times and the Boston Globe.  She credits her daughters Maura and Marisa Fields with helping to develop the book.  

“It’s fitting that this new edition of Girl to Girl: The Real Deal on Being a Girl Today will have its official launch at Cheverus, where my daughter Marisa is now teaching kindergarten, since she and her sister were very instrumental in contributing to the shape and content of this book,” says Anne Driscoll.

In addition, Debra Gansenberg, MSW, LICSW, co-founder of New Beginning Counseling Services in Stoneham and Director of School Services, will be part of the program. George Ulrich, a Marblehead, Mass. artist who illustrated Girl to Girl, will also be there. The event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
